Yellow star, yellow star,

Where do you hide?

Yellow star, yellow star,

Let's go for a ride.

 

Yellow star, yellow star, 

I'll take you someplace safe.

Yellow star, yellow star,

I think you'll like the place.

 

Yellow star, yellow star,

You'll see your family.

Yellow star, yellow star,

You can live happily.

 

Yellow star, yellow star,

How easily mislead you are.

Yellow star, yellow star, 

You're not going very far.

 

Yellow star, yellow star,

There is nowhere safe.

Yellow star, yellow star,

Not a single place.

 

Yellow star, yellow star,

No matter where you go,

Yellow star, yellow star, 

You're the lowest of the low.

 

Yellow star, yellow star,

You've got to trust me please.

Yellow star, yellow star,

You're existence will not cease.

 

Yellow star, yellow star,

You've lost your friends and family.

Yellow star, yellow star,

I'm sorry you can't live happily.

 

Yellow star, yellow star,

Now you're finally free, 

Yellow star, yellow star,

Happy is something you'll never be.
